MAME advice on CHD's

[Harrison]

They do have a lot of great stuff to download, but some of the torrents are now huge (after years of combining different parts for each platform).

The Amiga torrents are a good source if you don't have an up to date TOSEC set. They have the only complete TOSEC CD Amiga set which includes CD32, CDTV and Amiga CD, so that is worthwhile. I seed that one all of the time alongside the MAME one so you would have at least one source.

There are large collections for a lot of other systems too, so it depends what you are in to. Personally I would like to have the lot, but some of the CD collections are huge and really eat into your ratio and upload credit so it is good to be careful.

Remember though, that you don't have to download the complete torrent each time. When downloading with uTorrent you can pick the files within the torrent to download, and ignore the rest. So if you were only after specific games or files in a torrent you can grab just those and avoid wasting download credit on the rest.

As for the MAME extras. The Core set is really all that is needed. The alternative set is just that. Alternatives of exactly the same content, so it might be different icons for each game in MAMEUI for example. Depends how much of a completest you are.

Who wants to download Amiga stuff

Thanks guys, you've been a great help!

I am now an initiated Pleasuredome junkie uploader type person.

But have you also visited and joined Underground-gamer.com? A site that sits very nicely alongside Pleasuredome and uses up your connection just as much!

[Bloodwych]

Cool, that will be my next stop! That and ebay for some more hard drives!

You can never have enough HDD space!

If you are not a member of Underground Gamer than I can provide you with an invite. They also have a sister site called BitGamer.com which is for modern systems, so they can split retro and modern system downloads into different sites and servers.

Nice one, I'll look at joining up at the weekend.

So, you need an invite? No other way to join?

If you can help me out with this once you're ready, it would be excellent!!!

Thanking you very much!

Last time I checked HDDs on eBay, they were even more expensive there as if you would buy them from an online shop. And I would always trust my favorite online shops over eBay sellers.

I agree. And with Seagate or Samsung drives you get a 3 - 5 year warranty on them.
